Assisted Living Communities in Gardendale, AL

"Our visit was really good. The facility was like a hotel. It was so nice. It has several options that you could do like they had the exercise and they even had an indoor pool. They had an arts and crafts space. They had everything. The rooms were nice. You had to furnish them, but it was like a new room and it had a nice kitchen area. The people were nice and seemed to have a lot to do if you could do it or you didn't have to. There are things available. I had a cookie there and it was good. The staff was very friendly and everybody seemed to be very knowledgeable about the facility."

"I will be moving into The Crossings at Riverchase. I liked it from the moment I walked in the first door. I had lunch there, and the menu was wonderful. The residents and the staff are all so friendly. The place is beautiful. It's immaculately kept. My apartment is going to be spacious that I've rented. I have no criticism whatsoever."

"I visited the Gardens of Pelham. I was very impressed with it. It was very professional. I got a very good tour. They explained how everything worked. I was satisfied with the way it was set up. They showed me the rooms and the different levels of care they had, took me to the cafeteria, where the clients lived, and showed me how they provided different care for them. They explained to me about the social workers and the other medical personnel who came out for them while they were there. It was good. It just wasn't a good fit for my husband. The facility was pretty and looked homey. It looked like whoever would be there would enjoy it."

"I thought Maplewood Lane Assisted Living was a very homey place. The staff that I met there were all very cordial. There's one lady that's been working there for 27 years and she was just as great as she could be. We had a very honest conversation about what would be required to get my friend in. It's an assisted living so the rules were a little different. It's able to handle folks in a wheelchair, push them for their showers, and even out the front door to sit in the sunshine on the porch. They have physical therapy 2 or 3 times a week, and a Bible study twice a week. It was just a very homey place and I had known somebody that had been there before and was happy there. It's small and homey and they said they work very hard to make it that way. The lady friend that I was trying to look for, still has issues in terms of her mobility like when going to the bathroom and that kind of stuff. The small room is really small, a little smaller than other folks' studio rooms, but the assistance they were saying they gave folks, in terms of bathing and showering, seemed right up to par with everybody else. The one who toured me around was the man that owns the place. He didn't have to show me around a lot because I've been there, in the room of the friend that used to be there. He didn't do a whole lot of showing around. He just showed me where the room was and showed me the difference between the smallest room and the next one. I had been in the larger one with my friend before, and of course, the price goes up with every increase in size. There were folks in the big kitchen, working on supper. There's a piano there and while I was talking to him, somebody came and played it, and that kind of brought all the other folks out. I think they only had two rooms empty, and they both were small. It would take a little getting used to, but it's all that my friend needs. The person who toured me also said that if one goes into a small room and a larger one becomes available, they automatically will switch that person up. It was clean and the layout is great because they have straight halls. The halls are also wooden so that even if you're in a wheelchair, you could navigate them easily. One side of the windows looks over a little lake so it's a nice surrounding. There's also a government building or something across the street, and they've got a nice front to it where folks could sit. They said they were going to be adding something on the back, a covered porch, or something like that."

"First of all home sweet home is a boarding home not an assisted living. I have had 2 family members that has lived there for years. It is the only place I would 100% recomend. It may be an older building but it is clean. Maybe if the owner would not take in people that couldn't afford the rate she could buy new furniture. I'm in home sweet home often, all the residents love it there and has been living at hsh for many years. As for the dogs, well the residents love them and the dogs are a great asset for the residents. Don't judge a book by its cover "

"My mother was in Fair Haven rehab and we couldn't have been happier about our experience. The check-in process, the spacious and clean accommodations, the administrative and healthcare staff, the food - all 5 star! Thank you so much for making mom feel at home, helping her recover, and providing such a high standard of care and comfort."

"I chose Greenbriar on Hanover for my mom because of its proximity to the family and the staff. It is an open facility with a memory care unit where patients have lots of mobility. My mother has a room to herself and is very happy there. "

"Alzheimer's is a wicked enemy. A vibrant successful woman stripped of memory now no longer able to speak. An active hiker in her prime her 92 year old body continues. My mother goes daily to the Adult Day Care where dear loving workers and patients stroke her hands to make her feel supported. Art, music, and physical activities are provided as well as a good lunch. Without it what would I do? "

"Kirkwood By The River is a very nice facility. I'm very happy. The people are very nice. The food was OK and not as good as I expected, but it's OK. I had an apartment when I first moved in but I had a stroke last August, so I had to move to a semi-private room for a couple of months. It's fine. There are lots of activities and amenities. Today there was a social hour. They used to take us shopping. "

"I'm a resident of Mount Royal Towers. It's clean, nice, and neat. The staff is OK. Unfortunately, they turn over once in a while. The dining area is clean and well maintained. The food is very acceptable and well prepared but could be better if the budget was bigger. We have a lot of activities going on. We can keep busy if we want to. I'm teaching people how to play bridge. It's independent living, plus assisted living, and a nursing home. It's a wide-range place. I'm in the independent living plus area. If I need assistance, I could get it. They have also an Alzheimer's unit."

"Regency Retirement Village was a beautiful facility. I was very impressed with their memory care unit. It was better located for my family to go visit her. The problem was there weren't any single rooms available, and my mom required a single room. However, the director was very helpful, and I was impressed with the activities. "
